The Man She Hated to Love ~ Author Blog Hop











"Dancing is a vertical expression of a horizontal desire."  ~Robert Frost



Elenya knew the stranger she was going to meet would be someone special, no doubt one of the King’s finest warriors. She’d dreamed about him for fifteen years, ever since she’d been ceremonially injected with his blood, altering her chemistry and binding her to him. She’d been his since she was three.

Hope filled her as she traveled to the gathering of the maidens, though her dreams were quickly shattered when she realized she’d been chosen for a man who belonged to a family at odds with hers for many years. Could she ever learn to love him? Would his blood flowing through her veins be enough to unite their hearts?


Enjoy an excerpt from Dance With The Enemy:

Elenya had no experience in these matters, she only knew her heart hurt and her pride pushed her to try to free herself from him. As she pushed against him, he rolled her to her back and pressed himself on top of her holding her flailing fists above her head. He tried to kiss her, though a quick jerk of her head landed his lips on her jaw. He merely nibbled his way from there to her earlobe instead.

“Unhand me!” she demanded.

“I think not.” His voice rumbled against her ear. He pressed her back to the bed as her hips bucked against him in her attempt to free herself. He stifled a chuckle knowing in her innocence she had no idea the rivulets of electrical currents her gyrations exploded within him.

“I will not be used in this manner,” she squeaked.

“I will use you in any way I please. Though I can scarce fathom why you fight me so when moments past it was you who tempted me.” He was assaulting her collarbone with tender kisses. She cried out when his tongue darted out to trace the bone line.

“You have betrayed my honor,” she managed to say on a mere breath, her senses reeling.

Tahruk stopped. He reared back to stare down at her. Elenya froze as well, frightened by the look in his eyes. Again she wished she could read his looks. All she knew was that the fight drained from her, the only sound between them was the heavy breathing remaining from their exertion.

“Honor!” he roared at last, releasing her and pushing away. “First you run, then you fall asleep. Twice, no less. Now you fight me and accuse me of betraying your honor?”

  28. Thank you all so much for stopping by! The winners are:
    For the ebook and purse charm: Froggy!
    For the additional ebooks (we ended up with 3 somehow so I am just going to go with it! lol): DeniseZ, Ronda N., Amanda Ray. Congratulations to you all. Now, there's one more thing...

    Because the decision has been made to make Dance With The Enemy available FREE in the Amazon Kindle store on July 14 and 15, ALL WINNERS OF E-BOOKS UP TO THIS POINT will also receive an advance e-copy of the second book in the series as soon as that becomes available. Characters from each book will cross over into the other books, however, the books are entirely stand alone as well.

    They will ALSO be entered into a drawing for an awesome Enemy-related wine charm or purse charm (Froggy's will be different if she wins again) that will be given away toward the end of the month. Information on that is not yet available, however, you'll find that here on my blog once it is posted and the winner will be notified via email. Again, thank you all so much for stopping by!
